It is open at the top, the e ge of the same being bent inward to form an overhangin li or flange o5, as shown in Fig. 2, and wit i w 'ch' the hollow removable cover A is ada ted to engage, hereinafter described. Wit innthe body A we suspend a canvas sack B, the same l'iaving at the top a series of eyelets e to adapt it for attachment to hooks a, that project inward from the sides ol the cambody and are arranged a short distance below the inturned top flange o5. As shown in Fig. 2, the mouth of the sack B is heid fully o en when suspended from the hooks a, an a drawstring C is reve through the saine eyelets as receive the hook. This drawstring serves for contracting the mouth of the sack, and thus practically closing it when duly filled with garbage or other material 'lf he removable hollow top A ofthe can has a flaring mouth a', through which. the garbage or other material is fed into the sack B.

The bottom of tie can bein open, air has free access to the sack on all sides of the same, so that material deposited in it is constantly stantly subjected to drying action.
